Just home from giving a talk to a local society about #chalkstream archaeology in the Chess Valley.

A lovely neighbour was waiting in front of my flat 😎

River Itchen - Chalkstream
After venturing beneath the surface of this remarkable chalkstream, we were privileged to capture some breathtaking footage of these incredibly young salmon as they begin what will become an extraordinary life journey.

This is how it is to swim upstream over the clean gravels of the quite briskly flowing River Little Ouse into the embrace of the beautiful long flowing fingers of River Water-Crowfoot (Ranunculus fluitans), a perfect home for the invertebrate & fish inhabitants of this precious #chalkstream. #Rivers

Plenty of characterful Chabot Bullheads (Cottus perifretum), many young, under rocks in this reach of River Little Ouse, confirming feeling it's in good health. Never seen such high density of big River Nerites (Theodoxus fluviatilis), still lots tiny white eggs. NB chalk on this #ChalkStream bed.

A #WorldRiversDay 🧵to give a portrait of a 1.5km reach of the River Little Ouse between Thetford & Brandon. This week, despite its #chalkstream loveliness, apart from tiddlers there were only a few fish, all giants, such as this great c90cm log of a Trout, no red on it. Another Sea Trout?? #MySwim
